Top 3 D/ST Fantasy Football Streaming Options – Week 4
We’re considering a few key factors when looking to stream a D/ST. Notably, you might want to consider home teams who have a low point total according to a top sportsbook such as DraftKings. Continue reading to check out our 3 top D/ST streaming options for this week.
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
Sleeper Ownership Percentage: 52% As of 9/27
Heading into Week 4 of the 2024 fantasy football the Minnesota Vikings are the number 1 DST. Just as we all predicted. That’s despite getting the 49ers and the Texans in the first three weeks, which are arguably two of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL. Needless to say, maybe it’s time this defense gets a little credit.
This week, the Vikings head to Green Bay to take on either Malik Willis or a questionable Jordan Love. Oddly enough, this Packers team is the only team in the league with more interceptions on the season the Minnesota. The Packers have 7 interceptions, while the Vikings are tied for second with the Saints with 5 picks each. Notably, the Vikings have also given up just 30 points on the season, which is second in the NFL behind just the Steelers, who are at 26.
Show this Vikings DST a bit of respect and consider them a top streaming option this week. You can likely use them again in Week 5 as they host the Jets. However, they have a bye week in Week 6 which means you may end up dropping them. Either way, they’re a top streaming DST option for Week 4.
Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
Sleeper Ownership Percentage: 53% As of 9/27
This Texans defense has been strong this year. While they have had a fairly easy first three weeks, on paper at least, they’ve done well. They picked off Anthony Richardson in Week 1 and picked off rookie Caleb Williams twice in Week 2. Additionally, they sacked Sam Darnold four times last week, making it 13 sacks in total on the season for this unit.
This week, Houston faces Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars who have been underwhelming this year. It’s also a home game in Houston and the Jaguars are 27th in the NFL in yards per game. Also, the Texans are fourth in the NFL in yards allowed per game. Overall, the Texans make a fine streaming option and are currently rostered in 33% of Sleeper leagues.
Chicago Bears vs. Los Angeles Rams
Sleeper Ownership Percentage: 34% As of 9/27
This matchup features the Chicago Bears hosting Matt Stafford and the Rams. Right now, DraftKings Sportsbook has this line at 41 total points, making it one of the lowest on the slate in Week 4. This Rams team is dealing with a ton of injuries and has no Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua. They also have a banged-up offensive line and Jonah Jackson is on IR with a fractured scapula. Overall, this should be a top streaming DST option for Week 4.
